keep you updated. >> they could be in the boat on the bottom of the ocean, in the ocean or one of the islands. that's still a possibility? >> reporter: absolutely. in fact, some of the survivors were able to swim to some islands that were in the area. they have checked out most of the area in the vicinity right now above water and haven't found anybody so below water kind of is the next area they have to check and they are looking for scuba divers to check. >> do we know how far offshore it was when it went down? >> reporter: i don't know. a couple hundred miles off the coast. >> thank you. 35 men did survive the sinking. the "chronicle" reports 17 were saved by people who happened to be nearby either onshore or in private boats. >> it was nice to help out to thieves give them a little hope and then -- it was nice to help out to at least give them a little hope and then get the

old izack garcia last month has really prompted this latest operation. on the morning of june 5, a gunman from the norteno gang opened fire on the parents and child mistaking them for serenos. police arrested a 17-year-old gang member for the murder. but the killing has really impacted this community and many residents say they are happy to see the police getting tough by targeting the gangs. >> i think it's good to get the bad people off the street. i have a young niece and my nephew. so i prefer for them to be able to play outside like i did when i was growing up. >> reporter: so today at the day-long conference the city has invited over 100 law enforcement officials from around the country including folks from homeland security, the department of justice and also local law enforcement. so the city really wants to send a message that they want

the offshore -- so you get the idea, the offshore breeze, the ridge of high pressure strong overhead so it's going to be a slow cooling trend for the bay area today. temperatures mild inland some temperatures well into the 60s already. clear in the valleys, patchy fog in the bay. at the coast, dense fog. by this afternoon, temperatures into the 90s inland. 60s and 70s in the bay. 80s and 90s toward the santa clara valley. at the coast, we have temperatures running into the 60s. but this patchy fog has returned and some of it thick at the coast but that ridge so strong, it's squashing it toward the beaches so it can't make its way inland so we are going to keep things hot in the valleys but the slow cooling trend is under way as this ridge will slowly work its way inward. then a trough will sweep down over the next couple of days cooling down the temperatures. that means more low clouds and fog and a cooling trend in effect. highs today 90 in san jose, 89 in santa clara, 86 in fremont

and 82 in san mateo. east bay numbers still on the hot side. 97 in brentwood, about 96 in livermore. and about 97 in pleasanton. inside the bay cooler with the sea breeze. north coast mainly into the 60s with patchy fog. mid-80s into the santa rosa area. next couple of days slowly cooling down, finally out of the 90s on the weekend temperatures much more comfortable with more low clouds and fog slowly peeling back toward the coastline as we head into the afternoon hours. that's a look at weather. let's check on traffic with elizabeth. >> thank you, lawrence. bark out to 880. both of our -- back out to 880, both of our earlier accidents are cleared. northbound 880 approaching high street and another one southbound 880 before embarcadero, so as you can see, it is all green now. so everything is back to normal both directions of 880 through oakland of our closest camera is near the coliseum. we were seeing delays around the high street exit but not

any longer. easy ride from hayward towards oakland. bay bridge looks like we are seeing slight backups. our camera just froze. no metering lights yet. they will likely be turned on any minute but only small delays before the pay gate. san mateo, elsewhere, westbound 92 looks great here, as well. about a 13-minute drive out of hayward heading towards foster city and the peninsula and if you are traveling eastbound 92, still looks good there as well off the high-rise. so san mateo bridge hat given us no issues all morning long. the central freeway if you are coming into and out of san francisco, so far no problems, 101, 280, it's a quick trip along the peninsula and to the south pay now 280 traffic out of downtown san jose really light still. you can see a couple of cars there heading northbound approaching the 880 highway 17 interchange. we have greg our photographer standing by live near the airport. right there on 101 in san bruno where northbound traffic looks great. so no issues right now heading

wanted to go, 12 to 17 of them. they decided to go and they usually go every year. they would ask him to go and he never could find the time. but finally now that's retired from the "chronicle" and he has all this free time he figured, why not? >> reporter: of the seven men still missing four are pictured here. russell bautista, don lee, gene leong, and albert mien. the four men are close friends. gary wong from berkeley is another one of the survivors. he was on an annual fishing trip with his brothers when the boat capsized and he was thrown into the water. wong had to hold onto a three- foot life ring with three other men until he was rescued. >> we pat. with our hands. we saw the link icebox. ice chest. we used that for a paddle. some of us paddled, all using hands and paddled all the way to shore. we were in the water over 14

hours. >> geary and his three brothers craig, glen and brian are avid fishermen and while craig, glen and gary made it back safely to shore, brian is still missing. yesterday the coast guard and mexican navy continued to search in those waters. there is a c-130 plane that was sent from sacramento down to mexico. that plane has since returned. another plane being sent out this morning to continue with those search efforts. back to you. >> still some home. thank you, kristy seifkin live in our newsroom. of course, we'll continue to monitor the search and keep the latest updates. all you have to do is go to our website, cbssf.com. law enforcement leaders in the bay area are meeting today hoping to hold two gangs accountable for the shooting death of a baby. anser hassan joins us live from east palo alto where that meeting is going to take place. it sounds like they are pulling out out all the weapons in their arsenal. >> reporter: that's right. good morning. we are live at east palo alto police department.

here's their mural. it shows that justice is blind. but police say they are not blind to the nortenos serenos gang violence in their city. today they are hosting a day long conference calling on federal state and local law enforcement officials to help police come up with a plan to target both gangs. east palo alto police department has been targeting the nortenos and serenos gangs for years but this latest effort was prompted by a july 5 shooting that killed 3-month- old izack garcia. the baby and his parents were mistaken as serenos and shot by a 17-year-old norteno gang member. last week the police hit the streets at the homes of gang members who are parolees or on probation. acting police captain jeff liu says they are very structured gangs. speaking last month he said they want to send a clear and strong message that if one member does wrong, both gangs

can be held responsible. >> police department and the community have spoken out and said that the quote, unquote collateral damage of a -month-old baby -- 3-month-old baby getting killed because of this back and forth battle between gangs is unacceptable. >> reporter: east palo alto police department has invited over 100 law enforcement officials from around the country including folks from homeland security, the department of justice even the irs to look into possible tax violations of known gang members. so the city is pulling out the stops in cracking down on gang violence in the city. >> sounds like the death of this 3-month-old baby really invigorated the efforts to use the tools that they already had to go after these gangs. >> reporter: absolutely. and i think one of the reasons is, is 3-month-old baby being killed mistaken as a gang member coming out when it's -- when his parents were coming out from a party put the community on edge that violence is out of hand and a lot of the community members that we spoke

with say they are happy to see that the police are getting tough on gang violence. >> all right. thanks, anser. in oakland this morning, police chief anthony batts planning to announce some upcoming changes to his department. he is holding a news conference to discuss a reorganization to enhance public service. under the city's budget for the in us fiscal year the city -- for the new fiscal year, the city will rehire 22 of the 80 police officers they fired last year. more good news on the weather front. it's cooling down but we are looking out 80s and 90s in the bay area. lawrence? >> we are going to bring those temperatures down slowly over the next few days. no hot 100s out there. we have seen the triple digits in the east bay looking toward mount diablo hot in that area talking about 90s but temperatures finally cooling down as high pressure weakens. that's allowed more of a sea breeze. dense fog at the coast. some of that just sneaking inside the bay. so those temperatures are going to start to drop. yesterday 99 in concord. today about 94, five degrees

cooler. 92 yesterday in san jose. should drop two degrees at 90. you should see more significant drops over the next couple of days as the temperatures are going to come down across the board. as a matter of fact, by this next weekend, i think on the high-end temperatures in the 80s. low clouds and fog slowly breaking back toward the coastline. let's check the traffic with elizabeth. >> thank you. we'll check our ride out of marin county. southbound 101 perfect a camera near mill valley showing you southbound 101 traffic and looks great. really no major issues. there is some fog as lawrence mentioned. you can see it across the deck of the golden gate bridge if you are heading that direction. 880 looks great now. we had a couple fender-benders one northbound 880 at high street, another in the southbound lanes of 880. everything is now cleared. so a little sluggish past fruitvale northbound. over at backups are gone. bay bridge different story. backups continue to grow unfortunately. metering lights are on. they have been since before 6:0. so it continues to stack up there -- 6:30, so it continues

to stack up there beyond the west grand overcrossing 10 to 15 minute wait to get on the bridge. back to you. >> thank you. a new id program for people living in richmond is triggering a debate over illegal immigration. the city council approved the new program yesterday. nip who lived in town for 15 days of the last month -- anyone who lived in town for 15 days for the last month will be eligible for an id card to get access to a number of services from public transportation to libraries. supporters say people then can open bank accounts with these ids but critics say it encourages illegal immigration. police have identified the man shot and killed by bart officers but they are going to wait to contact his family before releasing his name. bart deputy police chief says cameras caught a partial view of sunday night's incident. investigators say the man was drug and being aggressive while carrying a broken bottle and a knife. one of the two officers was carrying a taser but he didn't use it. starting monday now all bart police officers will be

required to carry tasers. and this morning, san francisco police are hoping to find the person who swiped a piece of art from the weinstein gallery in union square, a sketch by pablo picasso right off the wall. his 1965 work "tete de femme" is only about the size of a piece of paper but it's worth over $200,000. the galley says it may be difficult to sell but they hope the suspect doesn't destroy it. and some historic papers went up in smoke in one of santa clara's largest wildfires. now the people blamed for starting that fire will have to pay up. kcbs radio's matt bigler joins us live from san jose to explain. >> reporter: good morning. we're talking about the "lick" fire in 2007. one of the largest ever here in santa clara county. it burned over 47,000 acres. and in that area, about 20 outbuildings were destroyed. those are cabins, sheds, that kind of thing. in one of those buildings were

some pretty important papers. they were handwritten by albert einstein. they belonged to a san jose state chemistry professor. his name is dan strauss. he inherited them from his father ernst strauss the renowned mathematician and friend of einstein. dr. strauss decided to sue the woman who started the fire and her entire family claiming that they all knew about the burn barrel where this fire started and that they should pay the damages for these lost papers. yesterday a jury here in san jose bought that argument and decided to award dr. strauss $750,000 for the loss of those einstein papers. the attorney for the family says that that award is excessive. they plan to appeal the jury's verdict. by the way, dr. strauss says that he has learned his lesson. he now keeps his one remaining einstein paper a poem written in german in a bank vault. that's the latest from here in san jose. back to you guys. >> all right.

kcbs radio's matt bigler thank you. time now 6:40. some shocking allegations out of great britain. the phone hacking scandal that allegedly targeted a teenaged murder victim coming up. >> a weather phenomenon caught on tape in arizona. how this wall of dust caused some big problems for air travel and really all over the city. >> and the market just opened up about 10 minutes ago. let take a check of the numbers. dow looking okay. nasdaq has and s&p need work. it's early. kcbs moneywatch reporter jason brooks will join us shortly with an update coming up. ,, ,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,

a "haboob" ("huh-boob") that blew across arizona. it was a huge dust storm... about fifty a huge dust storm just blew through phoenix about 50 miles wide in fact. the wind was blowing at more than 60 miles an hour. the visibility was so bad, the faa stopped flights from heading into phoenix and out of phoenix for a while yesterday. you can't see much of anything there, lawrence. but much better news up in our neck of the woods i guess. >> yeah. that's something else. we have a fog bank out there right now. over the bay right now, we have mostly sunny skies although you see some of that fog in the distance. a sign of the sea breeze kicking in and that means we're

going to see some cooler temperatures over the next couple of days. patchy fog getting dense at the coastline. watch out for that. it's right near the surface at the coast. out at the beaches today you will see 60s for highs here. you get inside the bay 60s and 70s a bit of a sea breeze with 80s and 90s in toward the san jose area. but the interior valley still well into the 90s. so a slow cooling trend in effect. low clouds and fog hugging the coastline right now. we have a little subtropical moisture out there, as well. that will move across your skies. this ridge is weakening and it's going to head eastward. the low is going to drop in slowly and that means day after day we'll watch these temperatures coming down as the fog is going to penetrate further each day. numbers as high as 92 in morgan hill today, 86 fremont, 63, cooler in half moon bay. east bay temperatures still hot. 97 degrees expected high in brentwood today. we are done with the hot 100s

for a week or so. 70s in berkeley, richmond, coastside patchy fog. 90s into benicia and fairfield. temperatures will cool down, patchy fog continuing the next couple of days, thickening up toward the weekend. those numbers below average in the middle of next week. that's a look at weather. let's check on traffic with elizabeth. >> traffic is moving across okay. we had a couple of earlier problem spots earlier in the morning commute especially along 880. no major accidents. back to work this morning, here's a live look through pleasanton. westbound 580 approaching the dublin interchange. so far, so good. in fact, let's go to our maps so we can give you a drive time for this stretch. 26 minutes now out of the altamont pass heading towards 680 and the dublin interchange so brake lights there out there especially as you reach livermore. pretty close to vasco road. that's where it starts to get
